January 12, 1986|By Robbie Morganfield, Staff Writer

An appeal is being issued today for people with Type O blood to visit either of two Broward County blood banks that have extended their hours because of a blood shortage that is heading toward crisis proportions, officials said Saturday.

South Florida Blood Services and Broward Community Blood Services both will be open today to accommodate any donor, but officials say there is great need for Type O donors.

The Broward Center of South Florida Blood Services, in Plantation at 100 NW 82 Ave., Suite 205 of the Regency Park South Medical Building, will be open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. today.

The main branch of Broward Community Blood Services at 1700 N. State Road 7, Lauderhill, will be open from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.
